Like most agriculture-related
businesses, greenhouse operations
are becoming fewer, but larger.
“You need a certain amount of
square feet to make a living from
it Land where greenhouses are
located is generally very valuable
and many are closing down
because of that. Those remaining
get larger. There’s also a tendency
toward specializing in a plant or a
product and growing that specialty
very well,” says this greenhouse
grower, adding with a smile, “We
still grow 200 different things

need for labor, one of a green

Business details, labor manage

and papcrwlork increasingly take
larger chunks of Hoffman’s busy
schedule. Often, he relates, days
pass before he sees some parts of
the greenhouse complex. But he
does “get his fingers in the dirt”
occasionally and finds that side of
the' business to be relaxing.
“I would never want to go back
to punching a clock,” he insists of
the horticulture enterprise and

far longer than corporate 40-hour
work week.

worlds in our society; this is just a
